Effect of probiotics supplementation on anti-inflammatory gene expression in caecal mucosa of Pasteurella multocida challenged broilers.
| Anti-inflammatory gene | Pasteurella multocida infection | P value | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Treatment | |||||
| Prob+ | PC+ | NC+ | SEM | ||
| 14 days post challenged (2−ΔΔCt) | |||||
| PTGER2 | 1.13a | 0.75a | 1.02a | 0.113 | 0.884 |
| HIF1A | 134.58a | 36.82b | 13.23b | 37.148 | 0.011 |
| TSG-6 | 13.71a | 9.86b | 1.05c | 3.747 | 0.003 |
Values are means of two replicates and standard errors of means.
Within each variable, values with the same superscript letter are not significantly different according to Duncan’s multiple range test (P > 0.05). Pro+: challenged probiotic control; PC+: challenged positive control; NC+: challenged negative control.
HIF1A hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha, PTGER2 prostaglandin E receptor 2, TSG-6 tumor necrosis factor- (TNF) stimulated gene-6, Pro+ challenged probiotic, PC+ challenged antibiotic; NC+ challenged control.
